Padi Open Water Diver Course

by dancinbudgie

Grant did his Open Water Diver Course with Subsurface Fiji. These guys are absolutely fabulous! They are proffessional, knowledgeable, and a whole bunch of good fun! Their boats and gear are all well maintained.The course was run over 3 days and included 4 open water dives (all at different sites), all equipment and Padi certification. Cost of the course was $740 Fijian dollars, and the money was well spent. Grant had previously done the Padi discover scuba course, and had a couple of other dives under his belt, but other people who participated had no previous experience at all.Subsurface Fiji run the full range of Padi courses.

Padi Discover Scuba Course

by dancinbudgie

I did this course on a rainy day at Malolo Island Resort (what else do you do on a tropical island in Fiji on a rainy day?). It consisted of theory work in the morning, along with a pool lesson, and was followed by a reef dive (maximum depth 12metres) in the afternoon.In the pool I was taught by Owen, who is about as funny a guy as you will come across. He is also a very patient instructor, and if not for him I may have never progressed to the reef dive as I was ready to chuck it in the minute I put my head under water! On the reef dive my buddy was Bilo, a much more serious (but extremely experienced) diver. He held my hand (literally) for the duration of the dive, and gave me the confidence to stay down there for 37 minutes! (I was absolutely terrified initially). If you're out there Bilo, I hope your hand has recovered!The reef I was taken to was called Barrell Head, which is near...

Yaro Village Tour

by dancinbudgie

We took the Yaro Village tour from Malolo Island Resort. The village is home to about 20% of the resorts staff, (the remainder come from the mainland), and is the traditional home of the Chief who owns the land that the resort is built upon. It was an interesting enough trip, if a little touristy. The Kava ceremony was fairly brief, and the portion I was expected to drink was, thankfully, small, ( I am not a fan)! Our guide, Len, didn't seem very interested in enlightening us in regards to life in the village, except to point out how difficult it was. The main objective of the tour appeared to be getting us to buy the handicrafts, something that we were happy to do even though we knew they were a little overpriced. The villagers themselves were very friendly, especially the children.The tour cost Fijian $31, and took about an hour and a half.

Taveuni Fiji, Our wedding and other experiences.

by TaveuniFan

Me and my wife were married in Fiji.We rented a home and the caretakers took care of everything.This is the house: http://www.fijirent.com/We were married at Bouma Falls here, (no relation to the link, just using the picture)http://www.maravu.net/gallery/gallery.cfm?start=1&galleryCategorySelect=7&keyword=We decided to be married in a traditional Fijian ceremony and we wore the tapa. The entire village came together to help make this happen, both at the Falls and at Matei. One person flew all over the islands to obtain the Tapa cloth. They made everything and we feasted for days. We had a meke group for which we paid for an hour, they played all night but we also ensured that their families were invited.We wanted to give back a bit to the people who shared and made our wedding so special and unique. We did our best to make sure as many people could come as possible and we were very well...

Island Tours

by lovingagoodholiday

We are into total relaxation - no bungy jumping or hang gliding allowed! The one thing we did try the second time in Fiji was a bit of island hopping by taking a boat tour.The trip was very good, well organised albiet a bit noisy and busy. The good thing was we chose just to have a 'cruise' around to see the islands and have lunch on Malolo Island, rather than a whole day on one island.Tours can be organised through your hotel and our guide was fantastic. A lovely Fijian man who really enjoyed his job. He gave us a tour of the island and then left us to our own devices so we could just wander around, have lunch and drink cocktails until the boat came to pick us up. A perfect day.

Kava Ceremony

by savvygirl

Not my writing....but it's too detailed to not put on my page. Traditional Fiji Kava CeremonySource: http://www.janeresture.com/oceania_kava/index.htmIn Fiji, the drink yaqona (kava) played an important part in public business and social life. The kava was mixed in large wooden bowls which were used for no other purpose and gained a bluish-grey glaze from contact with the kava. The drinking cups were made from coconut shells with the chiefs having their own cups which were tabu to anyone but themselves while the lesser men drank from a common cup.Made from the dried roots of the shrub Piper methysticum, the kava root was cut into small pieces and was originally chewed but later grated to a pulp and steeped in water. The mixture was then strained, often through a bundle of hibiscus fibre, and was then ready for use. The tempo of the ceremony was governed by measured hand-clapping and the...

Caving

by navarrokl

Out at the end of the Yasawas there is an adventure you can go on to go swimming in some caves. There's even a part where you get a quick dive through a hole to a larger cave.It was just cool... I even met an older Fijian lady that was honored to be there.. so apparently it's somewhat culturally significant.Rumor has it, you haven't been to the Yasawas until you've seen the inside of that cave!

Nature

by kristii

We visited the botanical garden, called "The Garden of the Sleeping Giant". It was nice to see the plants in their natural habitant, rather than stuck to the pot back at home. The only problem we encountered was that it was extreemly humid and hot, so we had to take a break after every little climb..

Garden of the Sleeping Giant

by Alicja1

Garden of the Sleeping Giant - contains a collection of 30 to 40 varieties of Asian orchids and cattleya hybrits. It's a combined commercial nursery and fantasy garden at the foot of the Sabeto Mountains, in the shadow of the ridge known as the 'Sleeping Giant'. The garden was once the private collection of US actor Raymond (Perry Mason) Burr. Burr has gone into partnership with another enterprising American and opened his garden to the public. The highlight of the garden tour however, is not just the orchids. Of equal interest is a meandering stroll on a canopy-covered boardwalk through gorgeous landscaped grounds, across lily ponds up to the edge of a densely vegetated jungle. There is admission about F$8. Was it worth it? Well, I am not sure ....
